Wondering who we are?

Cassie Uhl

A creative soul right from the start, Cassie Uhl has always loved creating. Zenned Out started with her stringing beads on her living room floor while she was still teaching art. She will never forget the day she saw a stamp set in the jewelry store–she felt magnetized to it! Cassie saved up from the jewelry sales she held at friends’ houses and bought her shiny new toy. Instantly, she was obsessed.

From beading on the floor, to that first stamp set, Zenned Out has grown so much over the years. Cassie didn’t know where it would take her, but it wasn’t long into running her Etsy shop when she realized her creative passion could be her career. She was all in. With no business training she had a lot to learn, and she worked hard and soaked up information about running a small business like a sponge. There was a lot of trial and error, too many twelve-hour days to count, and many mistakes along the way, but she wouldn’t trade any of it.

Today Zenned Out is run in a large and beautiful studio. Now with so many talented others helping at Zenned Out Cassie has time to share her experience with creative entrepreneurs and support their growth. She still has missteps, and the occasional twelve-hour work day, but she loves what she does and is excited to help others find their voice too.
